New Brunswick Non-Resident Moose Lottery

Moose Hunting Outfitters in New Brunswick,Canada

Moose hunting in New Brunswick is possibly the best hunting success story in
North America. The Moose population continues to grow by leaps and bounds. Large
areas of second-growth hardwood from clear cutting in our area are producing an
ample year-round food supply and thick spruce and fir regeneration in those
areas is providing good cover from the weather. With the increase in numbers
overall it's not surprising a good percentage of large bulls in the 45-60"
category are taken each year in northern New Brunswick.

We conduct our guided moose hunts in a remote area where competition with other
hunters and outfitters is minimal and overall pressure is light; several of
the stands we use for moose hunting have been in place for years.

The New Brunswick Moose hunting season runs during the last full week of September. In 2014 the New Brunswick government changed the season from the traditional 3 day hunt to a 5 day hunt(Tuesday through Saturday). This (naturally) produced a higher kill total province-wide (about 10% over the 2013 3-day hunt), but less than the anticipated increase, likely due to summer-like weather the last 3 days of the hunt.
2015 and 2016 saw a higher kill total. No dates have been announced yet for the 2017 New Brunswick Moose
season (as of March 4, 2017) but we will post them here when they are available.

Since the New Brunswick non-resident Moose hunting draw began in 1996 we
have been the chosen outfitter of 24 hunters. With both of our non-resident guests
harvesting bull in 2016 we proudly maintained our 100 % success rate since
1996. Details on the 2017 New Brunswick Moose hunt can be found below. For more

The lottery system in place for
non-residents wishing to hunt moose in
New Brunswick involves submitting an application to the New
Brunswick Department of Natural Resources either by telephone or online (more
details below) and paying a fee to apply. The application period for 2017 is February 6 to April 30. If your name is drawn you may then select an
outfitter and a
Wildlife
Management Zone (WMZ) in which to hunt. It should be
noted that New Brunswick offers far better odds of being drawn as a non-resident
than Maine (which has a >1% rate) while offering a proximity to the
northeastern U.S that makes New Brunswick much more convenient to reach by road
than Newfoundland (a
minimum
2 days extra driving each way). Taking these factors into consideration
it makes New Brunswick a "best kept secret" among the hunting fraternity.
